_ChooseColor Conversion

[exodius]

So I'm trying to figure out how to get both the colorref number and the RGB equivalent for a color when using _ChooseColor.

I need the colorref number because the ownerdrawn function I'm using requires it, but I also need the RGB equivalent so I can use it with GuiCtrlSetBkColor to indicate the color just chosen..

I don't really care whether it's RGB --> Colorref or Colorref --> RGB, I just can't find anything on how to go either way.

Anybody have any ideas?

Just convert the colorref to hex to get RGB or convert RGB to decimal to get colorref.

Just convert the colorref to hex to get RGB or convert RGB to decimal to get colorref.

I figured it out, the conversion's actually already in Misc.au3, I just had to think to go see how they came up with the different color values.

From Misc.au3:

If ($iRefType == 1) Then ; BGR hex color to colorref
        $iColorRef = Int($iColorRef)
    ElseIf ($iRefType == 2) Then ; RGB hex color to colorref
        $iColorRef = Hex(String($iColorRef), 6)
        $iColorRef = '0x' & StringMid($iColorRef, 5, 2) & StringMid($iColorRef, 3, 2) & StringMid($iColorRef, 1, 2)
    EndIf
